John, I don't see any text in RFC 2026 that gives an appeal
suspensive effect. However, as a matter of common sense, I
have asked the Secretariat to request the RFC Editor to
suspend RFC publication.
I support this. It creates a sensible jurisprudence.
The fear of DoS is legitimate, but also of an affinity group forcing an RFC
in the hope that immediate decisions taken make the appeal moot. This is in
particular the case if the RFC documents and feeds a IANA registry.
This is precisely a thing were arbitrary decisions should never be allowed,
since it is contentious. It should be mechanical one way or another. The
way is now set.
